Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. We’ packed lots of very warm clothing as directed. We were in a tiny ice cave about 10 foot long. For no more than 5 to 7 minutes. No explanation of the geologic underpinnings, etc. a huge investment in time and money for very little return.

Alex was a great guide. He even played us Icelandic music on the drive back from the ice cave!
